Starting from July 5th until October 5th 2008, as part of Stavanger2008’s programme of activities, World of Folk will explore the dynamic look of Nordic design crafts that explain how Norwegian and northern European creativity is bound by a new folk language, working towards a redefinition of craft today and a reinterpretation of design for tomorrow.

World of Folk will be a merge disciplines of design and craft, furniture and tabletop, toys and textiles, knits and embroideries, food and fashion, graphics and ceramics, metalwork and music. With a focus to aesthetics work of art that take a root in Norwegian traditions to bloom new products and redefine what it means to be New and Norwegian.

This exhibition was also to introducing a warmer colour climate, a more dynamic view of design and more eclectic use of pattern and form. The revival of folklore and local flavour has echoed a fresh design aesthetic intent on taking over all others, in a wish to disconnect with the past and reinvent the future purely along contemporary ideas.

The main focus of the exhibition will take Norway’s contemporary folk in archetypical, rural, tribal, ecological and global traditions as being implemented to some of these work of art below.
